GPSnV1 is on a distinguished road
Airbag did not deploy

I was driving 45 mph on a four lane road near my house (OKC) at 7 am and three deer jumped a fence then raced in front of me (never seen deer there in 20 years of driving that road). I missed the first two but hit the third one despite slamming hard on the brakes. There is considerable damage to the left front of the 2012 X5 and coolant flowed freely.

I was distraught because of hitting a deer that the police dept. would not save so for the first 4 hours of calling insurance, BMW Assist, etc., I didn't pay much attention to my own injuries.

I doubt there is little than bruises (on me) but I am more than frustrated that the airbag did not deploy. I was planning to leave this Sat for 3K miles of driving and now I am wondering about protection for the driver.

Is this a common complaint with the E70s? Can I trust the BMW + insurance approved body shop to get it right? I took pictures of everything except the dash that had a big red light about the failure of the airbag to deploy but I guess they can find that by looking at the codes, right?
